each crossover having a balanced input (1 l), dual (parallel) unbalanced inputs (13), an unbalanced low output (15), and an unbalanced high output (16). In order to complete the system, external patching must be accomplished between the low and high crossover outputs and the various power amp inputs using shielded patch cords. A patch diagram showing this arrangement is included at the end of this manual.

3A. BIAMP MONO MODE

Obviously, for a monaural biamp system (only one mixer feed), only one crossover module is required and only one crossover island will be used. In this case, one channel of the CS 1000X can be patched for the lows and the other channel patched for the highs, resulting in a simple, compact system with outstanding performance.

CAUTION:

Since the CS 1000X is capable of producing more than 500 watts RMS per channel into a 4-ohm load, the high-frequency components of the particular loudspeaker system must be able to handle these power levels reliably. Alternatively, use a smaller power amplifier!

4. BRIDGE MODE

Diagram 4 shows the actual arrangement for the CS 1000X patch panel in the bridge mode. Notice that the jumper plugs are inserted in the transformer (12) and crossover (14) accessory sockets of Island A. These jumper plugs cause the XLR connector of this island to be wired in the unbalanced configuration (as in Diagram 1) and complete the connection to the Channel A power amp input jacks (which are now the only active inputs). The Channel A sensitivity control now determines the sensitivity of the bridge-mode ampli- fier. The Channel B input jacks and sensitivity control serve no purpose in this mode, and are actually electronically removed from the circuit. Both sets of parallel l/4” output phone jacks are also not normally used in the bridge mode. Remember, the 4-ohm minimum load must be connected between the red binding posts. If individual loads were connected to each output (as in normal stereo applications) when the bridge mode is selected, Channel A would supply a normal in-phase signal to its respective load, but Channel B would supply an abnormal out-of-phase signal to its respective load, and both of these signals would contain Channel A source material (Channel B source material, if present, would be defeated). This is a potentially dangerous situation, especially if the individual channels are being used to supply high and low signals in a typical biamp configuration. Obviously, the speaker components on Channel B would no longer be supplied their intended signal but an out-of-phase version of the Channel A signal, which could easily destroy the

CS 1000X specifications

The Peavey CS 1000X is a professional power amplifier designed to deliver exceptional sound quality and reliability for live performances and installed sound applications. Renowned for its rugged build and innovative technologies, the CS 1000X has become a staple in various settings such as concert venues, clubs, and corporate events.

One of the standout features of the CS 1000X is its power output. It provides 1,000 watts of continuous output at 4 ohms, making it capable of driving large audio systems with ease. This significant power ensures that even the most demanding musical passages can be reproduced accurately without distortion. Its high-efficiency design enables it to deliver exceptional performance while consuming less energy, making it not only powerful but also environmentally friendly.

The amplifier utilizes a patented Peavey Dynamic FET technology, which enhances the overall sound quality by providing a wide frequency response and minimal distortion levels. This technology also contributes to the amplifier's impressive dynamic range, ensuring that both soft and loud sounds are reproduced with clarity and precision.

The CS 1000X features advanced circuit protection systems, including Peavey's exclusive DDT (Dynamic Distortion Termination) clipping protection. This feature prevents distortion and potential damage to connected speakers during peak output, allowing for safe operation under high-demand conditions. Additionally, the amplifier includes a built-in cooling fan that ensures optimal thermal management, prolonging the lifespan of the unit.

In terms of connectivity, the CS 1000X is equipped with a variety of input and output options. These include balanced XLR inputs and both binding post and SpeakON outputs, providing flexibility for different configuration needs. The rear panel also features level controls, allowing users to adjust the output level to suit the requirements of their specific audio setup.

Compact yet powerful, the Peavey CS 1000X is designed with a rugged chassis that can withstand the rigors of transport and installation. This durability, paired with its technical capabilities, makes it an excellent choice for both professional musicians and sound engineers.

In summary, the Peavey CS 1000X power amplifier stands at the forefront of audio technology, combining robust power, advanced protection features, and versatile connectivity options. Its ability to deliver high-quality sound makes it an indispensable tool for any serious audio application.
